They just installed a new Redbox near me so guess what that means? I’ll be posting Redbox codes for free rentals! 🙂 Don’t forget you can reserve Redbox movies online and use a Redbox online promo code to make things a little easier. See all the Redbox locations to reserve your title online.

Redbox movies must be returned by 9pm to avoid an extra day rental charge. Redbox codes can only be used once per credit card. Also, some of the Redbox promo codes below may be regional so they may not work everywhere. And in case you didn’t know, you can now rent Redbox games for PS3, Xbox360, and Wii.

You don’t need to spend a lot of money on gorgeous 4th of July decorations. Try using things you have laying around the house to make something spectacular. 4th of July crafts are a hot item (literally), and here’s one I love from one of my favorite gals over at Coupons Are Great. Plus it makes a great crafts for kids too!

Valentine crafts for kids are always fun, entertaining, and educational. I came across this adorable idea using Teddy Grahams from my dear friend at Saving Toward a Better Life.

These are particularly great if you have a toddler in preschool and you want to give treats to the class without having to resort to candy that the little ones shouldn’t have. Plus, it’s completely frugal. You can make Valentine’s for an entire class of students for around $3.00!

The next couple weeks will be packed full of fun Valentine crafts for kids!

Crafts for kids are always fun, entertaining, and educational. Each year on February 2nd, we all hold our breath in anticipation as our favorite groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, sees his shadow (or not). Thanks goes to Coupons are Great for this craft!

Don’t forget to check out the rest of the fun crafts for kids I’ve posted. And if you love this, please PinIt or Stumble. 🙂

Groundhog Day Puppets

Materials:

Brown Construction Paper

Brown Paper Bags

Scissors

Glue

Directions:

The face is a giant brown heart and the ears are a small brown oval cut in half. With black almond shaped eyes, oval nose, and whiskers this little guy was almost complete. We gave him some teeth using white copy paper.

We purchased a LeapFrog LeapPad2 for my youngest son for Christmas, so of course one of the first things I did was look for free LeapPad apps! You will automatically receive a free app or ebook of your choice when you register and connect your LeapPad but I also found 2 additional free LeapPad apps.

To get your two free LeapPad apps, start up the LeapFrog Connect software. Next click the “App Center” tab, then click “Redeem Code” and login.

Enter the following bonus codes to get your free LeapPad apps (you’ll have to do one at a time):

These free LeapPad bonus codes work for the LeapPad1, LeapPad2, Leapster Explorer, and LeapsterGS systems. Enjoy!
